A57 Snake Pass closure

A large landslip on wednesday morning has caused the closure of the Snake Pass route of the A57 between Ladybower Resevoir and Glossop. The heavy rain of the last few days is responsible and the road is not likely to be open until the end of the month at the earliest. The earth is still moving and at present, so no-one has been able to properly assess it due to obvious safety concerns.

Bit of a damp squid for anyone wanting to go up Bleaklow etc this weekend-but there is some good news! The Snake Pass Inn is still open! Reports say the road up to the Inn is still open from the Glossop side to about half a mile past the Inn, so routes up Kinder via Saukin Ridge, Alport Moor and Hope Forest walks should still be possible. Might be worthwhile giving the edge walks on the north side of the Snake Pass a miss aswell, seeing as you might disappear downhill rather quickly!

Not a clue. Everytime I check the bbc travel site the date just keeps moving. Yesterday claimed it would be finished today. Today, however it says the 17th. Must use the same people that get employed to cone off the A55 for months on end

They say nothing is impossible. But I see people doing nothing all the time.
